Exercise No. 7 (Organs) Flashcards
These are tubes for the passageway of blood
Blood Vessels
It is a thick-walled blood vessel which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the different parts of the body, blood flow is spurting
Artery
It is a thin-walled blood vessel which carries un-oxygenated blood from the different parts of the body to the heart, blood flow is oozing
Vein
They are small blood vessels interconnecting arteries and veins, exchange of materials between blood and tissues takes place
Capillaries
Layers of the Blood Vessels:
The outermost layer with loose connective tissues.
Tunica Adventitia (Tunica Externa)
Layers of the Blood Vessels:
Middle layer with smooth muscle cells
Tunica Media
Layers of the Blood Vessels:
Innermost layer with elastic fibers and smooth muscle cells
Tunica Intima
Layers of the Blood Vessels:
Layers of squamous cells, lining the central cavity of the blood vessels, known as the lumen
Endothelium
This serves mainly for protection, also for respiration and water absorption in amphibians
Skin
Layers of the Skin:
This is the outer or superficial layer with squamous cells capable of molting or shedding off the skin
Stratum Corneum
Layers of the Skin:
It consists of columnar cells, it contains chromatophores for skin pigmentation
Stratum Germinativum (Stratum Malpighii)
Layers of the Skin: (Dermis)
It is made up of loose connective tissues it contains a most of the glands, it also contains the blood vessels and nerves
Stratum Laxum (Stratum Spongiosum)
Layers of the Skin: (Dermis)
This layer has compactly arranged connective tissue fibers
Stratum Compactum
This is the long coiled tube of the digestive tract where final digestion and absorption of food take place
Small Intestine
Layers of the Small Intestine: (Villi)
This is the visceral peritoneum covering the gastro-intestinal tract
Tunica Serosa
Layers of the Small Intestine: (Villi)
It is a layer of smooth muscles divided into 2 parts
Tunica Muscularis
Layers of the Small Intestine: (Villi) - Tunica Muscularis
Outer layer of longitudinal muscle fibers
Stratum Longitudinale
Layers of the Small Intestine: (Villi) - Tunica Muscularis
Thicker inner circular layer of muscle fibers
Stratum Circulare
